weekend therapy

I had to work on a Sunday. The team is actually aiming to finish some deliverables for this quarter so we had to sacrifice our weekends for work :( I felt so sad and tired... these flowers made my day! got them from Legazpi Sunday Market after our meeting! The color is lovely isn't it?! :)

I thought of little project for our baby girl's room :) can't wait to start working with my hands!

Officemates requested if I can cook pasta for Monday lunch. We had our sort-of-potluck for lunch. Exag!!! busog to the highest level:D We had home-made fruit salad and leche flan from Conti's too.

Kian's Party Favors

Found these cute favor bags from Gourdos! They were on sale :) Filled it with bah-bob stuffs- coloring books & crayons, stickers, pencils, bubbles, some fancy mini springs; and of course chocolates and candies for the sweet tooth!

We prepared these gift tags ourselves! I soooo love do-it-yourself preparations. Makes me really happy and proud after :) A colleague offered to play with the lay-out for me. And mom-in-law helped me with the printing :) Thanks, thanks with much love :)

My good friend Naomi of Naomi's Kitchen gave her chocolate lollipops as a gift for her godson. These are home-made as well! Thanks Ninang!
My mama will be baking Kian's cake and cupcakes for the party; and I will be decorating them myself :) Mommy is super excited! :) I know our little boy will have a blast! and all the kids too! <3
